Planners at a 2005 conservation meeting identified strategies that could be implemented
to reduce conservation threats. These strategies were translated into
goals with supporting objectives and associated projects which will work toward
achieving objectives over the lifetime of the INRMP (

). Monitoring
and research projects are also in place to track management effectiveness and to
develop information that will increase knowledge of ecological patterns and
processes. Such knowledge will be essential for adapting management strategies
in the future and ensuring that monitoring programs track relevant indicators and
changes in key ecosystem patterns and processes.
